West and Ukraine want to destroy Russia, Moscow says
2022-12-27
[France24] The US and its NATO allies together with Ukraine want to defeat Russia "on the battlefield" in order to destroy it, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told the state TASS agency in remarks published Monday.

"The actions of the countries of the collective West and (Ukrainian President Volodymyr) Zelensky under their control confirm the global nature of the Ukrainian crisis," Lavrov said.

"It is no secret to anyone that the strategic goal of the United States and its NATO allies is to defeat Russia on the battlefield as a mechanism for significantly weakening or even destroying our country."

#9  More like give stuff that is in warehouses that is still better than old upgraded Soviet shit. There is a lot of old Soviet shit. A lot. That requires a lot of munitions to kill them. Even old, they beat a crunchie with a rifle. Gotta have something to take them out. And Russia is losing them in very large quantities. Hence the de-fang. And they are also losing a lot of their breeding population (granted a lot are minorities in Russia but still). Demographic collapse increasing.

#3  The past days are no more. Russia is USSR no more. Among the Russians Putin is said to have 85% approval. Russians are ready to go. Putin has had to manage this enthusiasm. EU as with Sweden wants someone else to go to war on their behalf. 60% of Poles don't want war with Russia as well. Lindsey Olin Graham is so out of touch as usual as he leads the charge here.
